ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19213 Posts	Posted 08/12/2022 08:12 am Full images of both sides would help us see a more complete picture. As it is, it appears the coin may have spent a little time in a parking lot or on a concrete surface.--damage, not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff

Schism New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 08/12/2022 09:22 am Im obviously new to the hobby. Would rot be so precise. I guess maybe because in the area were doubling is occuring more copper removal. Just a guess. Ill send full pics. Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 08/12/2022 10:13 am to the CCF...it does appear, from the pics presented, that any issue is from circulation damage. KK Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/12/2022 11:55 am It looks like parking lot damage. The coin must've been run over and driven into the small pebbles in the street, causing the pits. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 08/12/2022 12:55 pm @sch, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you please add the date of this coin to the thread (I can only see the first three digits in your pics)? Thx!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/12/2022 1:40 pm The obverse on the right side of the date is DDD starting on that area. The reverse is showing split plating on the tops of some of the devices (UNITED) This is not a doubled die. This is a striking issue. Normal die with wear and strong strike that split the plating. No premium either of these, just a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
